End of life on OS's

Waqar Razi — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:02:15 GMT

I am currently working on an upgrade project, Does any one know the end of life on 11.00, 11.11 and 11.31.

Can you please give me the link to a document that has end of dates for various OS's.

Hi:

See:

As for 11.0, the EOL was reached almost 2-years ago!

This document says End of factory support, but still says that some support may be available for extended period of time. What that support is called and does any one know how long thats gonna be available?

Under special circumstances, like where you are an extremely large customer, HP will extend special support services for an out-of-support OS release. The example that comes to mind is the US Navy, which still has thousands of 10.20 machines, if what I hear is correct.

For us average customers - no chance.

Hi (again):

To add to Pete's comments, I'd be happy that HP at least offers *patches* and patch bundles for out-dated, unsupported operating systems. While you are not going to see anything new fixed, at least you can avail yourself of the last things offered. In fact, there is a nice last rollup of 11.0 patches still available here [at the ITRC Patch Database]:

Great, we can find some infos about OS end of support dates, but what about Applications like VXVM, ServiceGuard, HPVM...

Is there a matrix table for every HPUX release (v1, v2 and v3) where all "End of Support Dates" are mentionned for these kind of applications ???

Thank's for your help & Have a nice day

Best Regards

Boris

Hi Boris,

I'm not aware of a single matrix.
But you can find such information related to single products, for example for vPars it is here:

http://docs.hp.com/en//1705/oc.pdf

Chapter 3.6 Obsolescence of vPars Releases

Similar info for most products can be found on http://docs.hp.com

Note: If a product is directly related with an OS version and this OS is unsupported, the product will most likely have the same status.
